For all you last minute love-bugs out there still trying to figure out what to do for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day this blog post is for you. I think most people appreciate a good home cooked meal and honestly, on a holiday that sometimes feels a bit forced (Hallmark holiday anyone?), eating a yummy meal and snuggling on the couch sounds just right. If it sounds good to you too I’m hoping I can help make your planning a bit easier with two menu options below, a vegetarian and meat lovers, both with easy cooking and good breath taken into consideration. It’s still Valentine’s Day after all. And hey, since you saved a bit of time figuring out what to cook why not step your game up and include a beautiful menu to make the meal feel just that much more special. The template for the menu pictured above can be found HERE.

All dishes below are linked to the recipes, click through to check them out. Happy love day!
